Barney – 2 year old male Labrador Cross
Barney is a gorgeous 2 year old Labrador cross. He was originally at a kennels from a puppy. He was then returned at about 8 months. For the next year Barney was in kennels with minimal interaction with people. One of our foster carers knew of Barney and decided to take it upon herself to try and help him.
“We felt extremely sorry for Barney as he seemed like he would make somebody a wonderful pet. We decided to foster Barney for a while in the hope we could find him a permanent loving home. After three weeks of advertising Barney a lovely couple decided to adopt him. They had a 14 year old lurcher and were looking for a younger dog who they could go on lots of walks with. They fell in love with Barney and realised how loving he was. After 3 weeks they were out on a walk and Barney jumped up and grabbed the owners arm. He continued to do this on various occasions but it is only over exuberance in play and it is not aggressive.
Unfortunately the couple decided they needed to return Barney to us so we would be able to find him a more suitable home where he can have the training he so desperately needs.
Barney would make someone a fantastic pet. Every night he happily sits on the sofa and loves cuddles he is also very intelligent. He is house trained, gets on very well with cats and kittens, vaccinated and neutered and he is a healthy 2 and a half year old dog who desperately needs a committed trainer and owner to help him progress. Barney would love to live with another dog as he loves to play and enjoys doggie company. We are hoping that an adopter will come forward so Barney doesn’t have to go back to a kennel environment where he would deteriorate.”
